Lockney High’s senior catcher Sunny Williams and sophomore pitcher Katie Jackson were named to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal 3A-1A All-South Plains first team Tuesday.

Williams was one of two designated players to earn first-team status, and the A-J had this to say about the star slugger:

“The senior catcher returns to the All-South Plains squad to cap a stellar career at Lockney. Williams batted .471 with a .594 on-base percentage. She had nine extra-base hits in 51 at-bats, 21 RBIs and was also the District 5-1A MVP.”

Lockney’s ace Jackson joined two other players from Ralls and Littlefield on the first-team for pitchers.

The A-J offered the following praise for the sophomore:

“Jackson racked up 238 strikeouts to lead Lockney into the area round of the playoffs — Lockney’s second trip to the second round in just four seasons. She went 14-4 with a 1.89 ERA in 1072/3 innings. Jackson was also the District 5-1A defensive MVP.”
